A Founding Contradiction

"We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal." These words, penned by Thomas Jefferson more than 240 years ago, continue to inspire many Americans.

Rita Ora

In 1990, Rita Ora was born to Albanian parents, in Pristina, Kosovo — in a region on the verge of war. Seeing the warning signs, her family fled to London the following year. As a young girl, Rita loved to sing — at family parties, in her primary school choir, and later at a performing arts school. At 19, she was working at a sneaker shop when an exec at Jay Z’s label, Roc Nation, heard Rita’s demo and flew her to New York to sign a record deal. But Rita’s real break came in 2012, when DJ Fresh’s single “Hot Right Now” — featuring her vocals — became the first drum and bass song to reach number one on the UK charts. That year, she went on to release two more number one singles off her debut album. Today, Rita Ora has released her sophomore album, Phoenix, and has broken the UK record for most top ten singles by any female artist.
